Bible verse
Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
Ezekiel 12:4 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 12.
1 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, you are living in a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.
3 Therefore, son of man, pack your bags for exile. In broad daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
4 Bring out your baggage for exile by day, as they watch. Then in the evening, as they watch, go out like those who go into exile.
5 As they watch, dig through the wall and carry your belongings out through it.
6 And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
7 So I did as I was commanded. I brought out my bags for exile by day, and in the evening I dug through the wall by hand. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder as they watched.
8 And in the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
